I think Kalamazoo Bats Mets players are really rare, tougher than their Giant counterparts and hovering in almost the same neighborhood as Four Base Hits. The two in the album are clearly creased and likely to have back damage, so they would probaly both grade a 1 or at most a 2. Even in that grade, a type collector could be looking at 7-10K. But add into the mix that a major set collector might need it, and you could be talking multiples of that number. Of course, you wouldn't know that until the last couple of hours of an auction. I don't think there are several known of each, more likely one or two. It is disappointing that these great ebay finds disappear- that is the one and only argument for establishing a high bid quickly to keep the auction alive.
